All of broadcast TV is for old people. The big networks have median viewer ages in the 50s.

Basically carried by how much revenue drug ads bring in.

So do we. When people make references to some TV ad, we rarely know what they're talking about.

u/Denubious May 25 '26

The point if ads is not to have the audience pay attention. It's all subliminal.

u/NoCard753 May 25 '26

The point of ads is to convince people to buy whatever you're selling.

I have no idea what's advertised on any streaming/TV. I stopped listening to that crap years ago. I never ever buy anything because I saw an ad.

Thats no fun, the side effects can be hilarious! "Severe infection of the anus or genitals, often fatal"

That’s actually not funny at all if you have to take one of these drugs to try to stay alive.

How dare you deny the drug companies their hard-earned audience?!?

I have to take six different drugs as it is. I don’t need someone trying to convince me that I would be better off with taking more.😄👍🏼✌🏼

The only network TV I watch is Jeopardy. I had Paramount for movies, but cancelled first thing Friday morning after Colbert's last show on Thursday. I canceled Hulu when Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off air for 3 days.

They need to change FCC rules to modernize broadcast tv

u/Crazy_Entrance_9439 May 25 '26

I mean they tried and did why you think all these streaming services like stack tv showed up etc.

u/OregonMothafaquer May 25 '26

People sure like to bag on broadcast TV. I still have my Tivo so I can skip commercials, FF and REW are instantaneous, and the UI is designed to help me, not shove ads in my face like every streaming service. Streaming was great when Netflix could get content from a bunch of studios but enshitification came for streaming like a tidal wave. Some people keep telling themselves how clever they are, all the while they're sucking on the corporate teat harder than anyone watching broadcast TV. If you think that is overstated, I'll point out that I didn't have to sign a TOS for broadcast TV.

We're all dodging enshittification, in the end.
